The Trump Organization, in partnership with London-listed Dar Global, is launching a tokenized development of Trump International Hotel Maldives, one of the world’s most exclusive holiday destinations. Unlike typical tokenized real estate, which often fractionalizes completed properties, this project allows investors to gain exposure from the earliest stages of construction.
The resort is expected to open by the end of 2028, situated 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé. The property will feature around 80 luxury beach and overwater villas designed for travelers seeking the highest levels of privacy, exclusivity, and sophistication.

Tokenization aims to redefine real estate investment
The development leverages blockchain technology to fractionalize ownership, allowing investors 24/7 access and tradable shares in a luxury real-world asset. The project taps into the emerging tokenized real estate market, which has gained attention for making high-value properties more accessible while maintaining liquidity through digital trading.
This development will not only redefine luxury in the region but also set a new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment through tokenization.
Tokenizing the development of Trump International Hotel Maldives marks a global first that blends luxury, innovation, and technology in a way that will transform how the world invests in hospitality.
Trump-linked crypto ventures gain momentum
The launch aligns with growing interest in Trump-associated crypto initiatives during US President Donald Trump’s second term. As of mid-October, Trump family crypto businesses, including World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and the tokens TRUMP$7.02 and Melania Meme (MELANIA$0.14), reportedly achieved around $1 billion in pre-tax profits.
This move could further cement the Trump Organization’s footprint in both the luxury hospitality and digital asset sectors, signaling a potential trend for high-end tokenized investments.
